The outcropping strata of rocks near a proposed drilling site are studied for indications of the structure and characteristics of the layers of rocks buried beneath the surface. In the past, the petroleum industry depended largely on surface indications and well logs for knowledge of subsurface conditions.  1, record 1, English, - rock%20stratum

If analyses reveal slight enrichments in gold and uranium, a search for richer sourceward concentrations may be considered.... Exploration in any extension of the formation "upstream" from sub-ore grade paleoplacer outcrops will require core drilling and application of subsurface stratigraphic study techniques of various parameters...  1, record 4, English, - sourceward

A recently developed instrument known as an "emanometer, "or "radon sniffer, "has been used to measure the radon content of water, oils and soils. Since radon is a noble gas, it does not form chemical compounds. It moves freely through pore spaces, joints and faults for distances up to several hundred feet. It will also dissolve in ground water and so move about in the subsurface. Air samples are obtained from the soil by drilling a short hole(2-3 ft) and pumping air from the hole through filters and a dryer into an ionization chamber or thin ZnS scintillator. Water samples are degassed and the air-gas mixture goes to the detecting chamber.  1, record 7, English, - emanometer
